Is Courage Can Save Us Worth Reading?
by Rye Barcott
Ada’s Score
Barcott profiles politicians from both parties who served in the military or the F.B.I., arguing that this shared background can model a less tribal politics. The profiles are earnest and the access is real, giving readers face time with figures rarely examined together. But the book's persuasive engine runs on character anecdote rather than rigorous argument, and the premise — that service breeds civic virtue — is asserted more often than it's tested. The prose is functional, not memorable.
